Marcus Risberg (left picture), Managing Director for Swedish subsidiary Tallink Silja AB leaves Tallink Grupp to take up a new position as CEO of Destination Gotland.
Mr Risberg will replace Christer Bruzelius, who retires after 9 successful years.
Tallink Grupp announced that Mr Ats Joorits (right picture) will take up the position from 15 March 2021.
Gotlandsbolaget says on its website that their new ship under construction in China will be ready in July. First sea trials have been done, and more trials are expected.
After the delivery trip the vessel will be phased in after summer.
The delivery delay is caused by the need to move the vessel to a newly built yard outside of Guangzhou. However, this does not affect the contractual capacity with the Swedish State.

Ro-pax VISBORG, under construction in China, will be powered by LNG. Destination Gotland signed a contract with Nauticor, which will supply LNG via its sister company AGA that operates the Linde Group’s LNG terminal in Nynäshamn.
Located in Hamburg, Nauticor GmbH & Co. KG is a leading provider of LNG as marine fuel.
In a press release Destination Gotland’s CEO Christer Bruzelius announced that next year the company would again offer crossings between Visby (Gotland) and Västervik, in the archipelago on the Swedish east coast.
After 30 years, Destination Gotland returned to Västervik during the summer season 2017, between June 22 and August 14.
Some 57,000 passengers have been transported on 100 trips. The maximum capacity was 70,000.
